The Alocasia Venom is a striking and unique variety of Alocasia known for its bold, arrow-shaped leaves that feature a deep green color with a glossy, almost metallic sheen. Its dramatic appearance, combined with the prominent veins that give it a venomous-like look, makes it a highly sought-after plant for collectors. Here’s how to care for it:
Â
Care Instructions:
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to bring out its vibrant colors. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the plant doesn’t sit in water to avoid root rot.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to maintain moisture levels.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C - 27°C).
• Soil: Use a well-draining, chunky potting mix with good aeration, such as a mix containing perlite or orchid bark.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
Â
Pet Safety: Toxic to pets, so keep it out of reach of animals.
